Chapter 284: Zhuang Zhuang's Family Affairs

Jia Cong doesn't have the ability to be born to know and never forget, but because of Old Man Wei's natural wisdom, he was reported by many people as the second six-yuan Wenkui.

It's good to say that the county test and the government test in the children's test are good, with Daiyu's cramming education in the past two years, Jia Cong has memorized the four books by heart, at least he is familiar with them.

The county test and the government test are generally two four-book questions, or a four-book question, and a poem test.

In addition, the county examination is not strict, and there is no cumbersome procedure such as transcription of the name, and the candidates submit the county order after completing the questions.

If the time is early, the county order will also give a pair of interviews on the spot, and the county order thinks that your essay is good and the answer is decent, and even announces that the candidate has passed the county test on the spot.

As for the number of places to be admitted to the county examination, there is generally no limited number of people like the big examination, ranging from 50 to 60 to 200, and the passing rate is basically maintained in the range of 1 out of 10, which is relatively easy.

The beginning of the provincial examination was not so good, there are roughly six or seven counties under the jurisdiction of a government, and there are 3,000 or even more candidates every year.

Sometimes it is not possible to accommodate all candidates to complete the test at the same time, so it will be divided into multiple tests, and the exam questions are also two questions of four books, and each question is naturally different.

And the number of admissions does not exceed 100 people, one out of twenty is rare, and one out of thirty or even one out of forty is the norm.

Therefore, candidates also call the government examination "Fuguan", which means that after this pass, there will be a smooth road ahead.

Of course, none of this is difficult. After all, Jia Cong has such a big signboard as Rongguo Mansion, and he is the "pro-son (pro-grandson)" of the second sage, and the county magistrate of Daxing County and the governor of Shuntian Mansion will be deposed only if they are eaten by zombies.

The difficulty lies in the college (road) test, which is the last hurdle of the children's examination and the most important exam. It is different from the county and government examinations, which are conducted by local officials, but by the examiners appointed by the imperial court.

The full name of the probationary officer is the deputy envoy of the probationary envoy and the deputy envoy of the probationary department, and the name is under the judicial department of a province.

Because he is in charge of academic affairs, he controls the fate of the students, and is also respected by the students as the "Great Master".

The term of office of the student officer is three years, and during these three years, the student officer will hold two examinations, that is, the college (road) examination is two examinations in three years.

These two examinations are called the annual examination and the scientific examination respectively, and the reason why they are called so is actually related to the students of the government school.

The so-called annual examination refers to the assessment of the students of the official school by the promotion officer, and the corresponding rewards and punishments are given according to the rank, and the worst sixth class is directly deposed from the student qualification.

The scientific examination refers to the examination of the students before the township examination, and only the first and second class students are eligible to participate in the township examination.

Starting from the township examination, the township, the meeting, and the palace three examinations are the real beginning, and the boy is just one of the stepping stones to participate in the imperial examination.

I won't go into detail here, Brother Cong hasn't even gotten the stepping stone yet.

Not to mention the difficulty of the test questions in the academy examination is almost exponentially deepened, just because of a noble official like the school official, it is not that Jia Cong can open up the joint with the holy family through the power of the family.

Maybe because of Jia Cong's martial arts background and the saint's family, he will be deliberately embarrassed by the "upright" school officer.

The boy tested three levels, and Jia Cong was sure that he had passed the county and government two tests in a row, but he really didn't have confidence in the hospital test.

Even his teacher Xu Jin and Xu Qingteng said that although the college examination is like picking up mustard, for Jia Cong, a child of martial arts, the difficulty is much higher than that of the government examination with the lowest acceptance rate.

After all, since the founding of the country, it has been common for the emperor on the dragon chair to be spit on, and it is normal to brush up the reputation of the emperor's "own son".

When he entered the palace to meet the Fu Zhi, the emperor didn't ask much about the Kong family, and the emperor who was "sick with the dragon's body" was more interested in the course of the Yanzhou defensive battle.

It is estimated that he was afraid of being blocked by his courtiers, and Emperor Liu Heng directly asked Yuan Chun to send Jia Cong to meet him in Fengzao Palace.

According to the judgment of the imperial doctor, Yuanchun's due date is also within ten days.

Liu Heng is extremely concerned about the child in Yuan Chun's womb, and he stays in Fengzao Palace for eight out of ten days these days

It is to reassure the people of Rongguo Mansion a lot.

Those who want to fight Yuanchun's idea, how dare they do things under the nose of the emperor.

Because of pregnancy and fatigue, Yuan Chun only showed one side, chatted for a while, and then went back to the apse to rest.

Liu Heng took Jia Cong out of the main hall and sat in the pavilion in the courtyard chatting.

The spring breeze is blowing, a cup of tea, and the spring red and willow green in the garden are extremely elegant, which calms Jia Cong's originally restless heart a lot.

"Yanzhou fought well in the first battle, and I didn't lose face......

Xu Qingteng played the White Lotus bandits in the entire Shandong Province around, giving up the traditional way of suppressing the thieves and rebelling on the whole front of the army.

Instead, he deliberately exposed the flaw and threw a bone to the White Lotus Sect. Lure the enemy deeper, and then directly wrap it up.

The peaceful war, which was supposed to take months or even more than a year, was basically calmed down in mid-March. If you say that the greatest credit is definitely Jia Cong, who presided over the defense of Yanzhou and dragged the bandits to death.

Judging from a series of military newspapers sent by Shandong, although Xu Jin's method is the most effective, it is also a dangerous and dangerous method.

Yanzhou only had a total of 3,000 capable soldiers, but it forcibly dragged down more than 15,000 White Lotus bandits. If Jia Cong is replaced by an ordinary general, it is not new to lose Yanzhou City after self-defeating.

In that case, the face of the court will be lost.

The bandits in Shandong were quickly pacified, and the prestige of the imperial court increased greatly. According to the secret report of the Dragon Guard, originally due to the chaos in Shandong, the White Lotus Sect, which was about to move in all directions, died down instantly after hearing the chaos in Shandong.

Liu Heng's satisfaction with Jia Cong has risen to another level, if the cabinet does not agree, he can give Jia Cong a knighthood.

"My son" made a great achievement, Liu Heng felt that his face was very bright, and praised and praised until Jia Cong himself felt embarrassed, and began to humble himself again and again.

"You don't have to be humble, you will be rewarded for your merits, what reward you want, tell me directly......

The two chatted in the pavilion for an hour, and it was not until Xia Shouzhong came to report that the southwest sent a fold, and Jia Cong got up and retired.

Liu Hengle sent away Jia Cong, who was holding a stack of books in both hands and wanted to cry without tears, and then turned around and returned to the main hall of Fengzao Palace.

There was an edict from the Emperor Taishang from the Longshou Palace, asking Jia Cong to go back to the house and study hard, and at the same time asked the little eunuch to send a reward.

Jia Cong sat in the carriage and watched the "three-year college entrance examination five-year simulation" given by the two supreme relatives, and almost cried.

What hatred and what grudge? He just humbly said to the emperor that thunder, rain and dew are all royal graces, and His Majesty will be happy with any reward.

was asked by the emperor to find a number of Confucian commentaries from the Hanlin Academy, and patted him on the shoulder, saying that he was waiting for Jia Cong's golden hall to roll call.

After returning to the house, Jia Cong took out the reward of the two saints, and everyone in the house shouted long live.

Including the rewards of the saints, this box of books is a collection in the palace, and in Daiyu's words, taking out a copy at random can make people outside snatch their heads.

The old lady didn't pay much attention to the imperial examination, and when she learned that the emperor was Jia Cong summoned in Fengzao Palace, she drove the girls to sort out the books given by the two saints, and left Jia Cong to speak alone.

"Sister Yuan...... Is the mother alright?"

Jia Cong nodded: "The eldest sister is very good, Your Majesty has been staying in Fengzao Palace recently, and the imperial doctor also said that the eldest sister is in good health, and the old lady does not have to worry."

"That's good, that's good......

The old lady clasped her hands together, and it was Amitabha Buddha and Tianzun Master praying for a while, and then she talked to Jia Cong about the trivial matters at home.

The family finally came back with someone who could hold up the door beam, and the old lady finally had someone to talk to, and told everything that had happened recently, especially the fact that Princess Zhongshun came to propose marriage for Liu Xianglian.

Jia Cong's face did not show surprise, but asked, "What does grandmother think about this?"

"You already knew?"

"The Thirteenth Master mentioned to his grandson once earlier, His Majesty sent Second Brother Liu to Shandong to help me, I met him in Qufu, and he told me about it."

Hearing Jia Cong say this, the old lady asked tentatively

"Then how did you respond?"

Jia Cong replied: "The grandson told the prince that the parents ordered the matchmaker, and it was naturally the grandmother and father who made the decision on this matter. As for Second Brother Liu, Sun Er didn't give him an answer, but said that he would talk about it in detail when he returned to Beijing."

"Liu Erlang is a good brother, but he is older......

It is appropriate for the old lady to comment on Liu Xianglian like this, Jia Cong also thinks that Liu Xianglian is very good, the only drawback is that the second sister is too old to welcome the spring.

Liu Xianglian is twenty-two years old this year, and Yingchun will only be on the second day of February next year, and the difference between the two is more than eight years old.

However, being older also has the advantage of being older, and the heart has been determined, and it will hurt people more.

Jia Cong pondered it carefully and suggested to the old lady, "Grandmother might as well send a letter to my father and ask my father's opinion."

"It's ...... nature"

The old lady nodded in response, and then added, "There is one more thing, I plan to record the second girl with you in your mother's name, what do you think?"

"Huh?"

Jia Cong didn't want the old lady to suddenly mention this, and she was grateful and a little crying and laughing at the same time.

"Originally, my grandson also planned to mention this matter to you, but it's good to keep the second sister in my wife's name, my grandson doesn't lack the name of a son-in-law, and it's enough for our sister-in-law to have a second brother."

The old lady's eyes when she looked at Jia Cong became complicated, and finally complied with Jia Cong's wishes.

This grandson doesn't look young, but he is the one with the right idea in the house.

At this time, the mandarin duck knocked on the door outside, saying that someone from outside the house had come to visit. Knowing that it was the wife of the Sun family in Datong, Shanxi, the smile on Jia Cong's face gradually faded.

The old lady also showed displeasure: "This Sun family is the old department of our family, but that Sun Shaozu is restless. Before, your mother took the second girl and Yu'er to Dabao'en Temple to participate in ***, but this guy didn't know how to avoid it, and there was a stalking move."

Jia Cong smiled and asked, "Then it's gone?" Anyway, you're sick, and your grandson is tired from a long journey, so he wants to take a good rest."

The old lady smiled knowingly, told the mandarin duck that she had refused the visit of the Sun family, and then continued to talk to Jia Cong about Liu Xianglian.

Lord Shoufu was furious, and all the civil and military forces in the capital trembled.

After Jia Cong returned from the palace, the gate of Rongguo Mansion continued to be closed, and he was at home to study and accompany his relatives.

The chaos in Shandong has entered the final stage, Xu Jin sent a letter to Jia Cong, explaining the follow-up to Shandong in detail, and even drafted several questions, which can be regarded as leaving Jia Cong with a month's homework.

Every day, Li Jia Congchen got up, and after breakfast, he studied the four books under the guidance of Daiyu, and entered the Dongfu from time to time to receive Jia Jing's teachings and learn the scriptures.

Three days off, Jia Cong spends most of his time playing with his sisters and sisters, and he lives a life similar to Baoyu.

After Jia Cong came back, the old lady personally told Yingchun about the proposal, and at the same time asked Yingchun for her opinion.

To say that Liu Xianglian is really beautiful, it is not an exaggeration to describe it as a jade son.

On this day, the light rain continued, and Daiyu rarely gave Jia Cong a half-day off, sitting in the gazebo with her sisters to enjoy the rain and play.

The girl of Rongguo Mansion was really born from the aura of heaven and earth, and in just half an hour, she had already written several extremely good poems, which made Jia Cong, half of the "poet", embarrassed.

"It's a pity that Sister Bao has been very busy lately, otherwise we can get two more good poems, and our poetry collection will be even more brilliant."

The crowd watching Daiyu's poems nodded and echoed what Xiangyun said.

Jia Cong asked suspiciously, "Didn't you say that Aunt Xue invited his nephew to come to the capital to preside over the family's business? Why is Sister Bao still so busy?"

"Sister Bao isn't busy with any business right now...... Hey, hey......"

Xiangyun covered her mouth and laughed, and said to Jia Cong mysteriously, "Sister Bao is busy attending the flower viewing banquets with Mrs. Xue now."

The flower-viewing banquet is just a name, after the beginning of spring, the flower-viewing banquet in the capital is one after another, and the ladies of each family are actually thinking the same thing: to give the cubs and girls at home

Dear.

"Oh~"

Jia Cong knew in his heart that Baochai was two years older than Baoyu, and he was sixteen or seventeen this year.

If the family affairs are not decided, according to the system of the national dynasty, if the eighteenth person is not married, the official media should come to the door to directly determine the candidate.

Can Mrs. Xue not be in a hurry?

However, according to the news of the "Little Detective" Xiangyun, Baochai's family affairs are really magnificent, and whenever he is about to decide on a candidate, there will always be all kinds of accidents that make Baochai's marriage die.

The more Jia Cong listened, the more he felt that there were ghosts in it, so after carefully inquiring about the inside story, he temporarily went out of the inner courtyard and called Jia Shiyi.

"Uncle Eleventh went to check on these families to see what the reason was that they took the initiative to cancel their relationship with the Xue family."

Jia Cong wrote down several families in his hand and suddenly apologized to the Xue family with gifts, saying that he would cancel his family affairs with the Xue family.

The Xue family is not the crumbling imperial merchant Xue family before, and the current head of the Xue family, Xue Pan, is valued by the East Palace and is one of the important generals of the prince's six rates.

The Xue family has officially entered the official family, although these families have a decent family background, but really speaking, they can marry Baochai.

There is no reason for such a good family affair, everything that was said before was good, and it was suddenly canceled.
